Title:

FVM, Fhgfs, GraPA, xenBEE, and the CBE

Abstract:

This talk is not about simulation, but about tools and components that support high performance computing. I will talk about a new parallel file system (Fhgfs), about the Fraunhofer Virtual Machine (FVM), which is going to replace MPI in some applications, and about the Graph Parallel Architecture ( GraPA). This is related to our work with the Cell Broadband Engine (CBE). I will conclude my talk with some thoughts about the future of the CPU market and will mention the XEN Basic Execution Environment (xenBEE).
